Mass. Quantities of Bullshit
This is such flat-out bullshit, it's unbelievable! Thanks to reader CDig for bringing this to my attention. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to bashing Kerry again soon, but until this nonsense goes away, it will remain the first and foremost topic on this blog.
Tell me, Commissioner O'Toole, is it currently legal for a 16 year-old kid to carry a high-capacity .40 caliber semiautomatic pistol in city parks? Um...no! As far as I know, it is currently illegal to possess ANY firearms ANYWHERE in the state without a valid license to carry or FID card. The laws currently on the books in the Commonwealth MORE than adequately address this problem.
Commissioner O'Toole and the mayor are implying that additional restrictions on licensed gun owners will have an impact on the incidents of criminal activity in the city. This is so fucking asinine! Any additional laws they come up with are likely only to affect the people who are legally purchasing and carrying firearms. Do they realize how much they sound like a complete horse's ass when you spew out garbage like this?
These shootings aren't being carried out by licensed gun owners, you ignorant twits!
As far as guns coming in from out of state are concerned - that is already highly regulated by current law. If a licensed gun owner wishes to purchase a handgun from out of state, he or she must have that gun transferred to a federally licensed gun dealer in Massachusetts and take possession of it there after undergoing the federally-required background check.
Now if the police want to go after the illegal trafficking of firearms, that's fantastic. That kind of action should be applauded. But you can bet your ass they'll choose primarily to go after the law-abiding citizens instead. Going after bad guys is dangerous and takes hard police work. Stifling the rights of the law-abiding citizenry is easy.
The police sit-down with community leaders came after meetings between Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Boston Police Commissioner Kathleen M. O'Toole.
In the past couple of days, the two have met repeatedly to discuss ways of limiting the number of guns on the street, O'Toole said, adding that officials are also considering ways to tighten gun laws in Massachusetts, specifically concerning where guns may be carried -- such as parks.

Officials are also looking at how they might stem the tide of guns coming in from out of state.
